“Wanted to stay forever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

I can only agree with other reviewers.....We stayed for 4 nights and I have NEVER had such fantastic and personal service. Better than in a 5-star hotel! I will never stay anywhere else in Cape Town in the future.
Loved the pool, the room, the breakfast, the service, the dinner reservations, the people we met, the cat and of course Anthony and the staff.
Thank you everyone, we had the best vacation!

“Like a five star hotel with the personal touch….Bliss”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

What a beautiful place, what wonderful people. We stayed here for one night after traveling the garden route, this place was one of my highlights of the trip, Anthony and staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, nothing was too much bother. They helped us plan our last days in Cape Town to perfection, giving us all the local advice.
The accommodation is just beautiful, the beds are so comfy, gorgeous modern bathroom, so spacious and clean.
Breakfast was divine, all homemade and everything we could possibly want.
Location was perfect, quiet yet central, easy to get to all the sights.
If you want a place to stay where you can make the most of your time in Cape town and stay in a luxurious B&B this is it! Like a five star hotel with the personal touch….Bliss.

“We loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

Blackheath Lodge is a lovely place, it surpassed expectations. We had a very relaxed stay and Anthony so helpful in making extra arrangements for our trip. The decor is fab with lots of quirky touches and the location excellent, just a short walk from the sea. Breakfast was perfect and all the staff really helpful. Cute little pool and well tended gardens. Want to go back already!

“Small but perfect with great personal touches”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Good location, We arrived early morning and were welcomed with breakfast and access to shower room (no extra charges), Anthony and staff very helpful- great advice on where to go and what to do. Arranged tours for us.
Comfy quiet rooms very well appointed. No hesitation, would stay again.

“A good choice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013 via mobile

Very friendly B&B with a great staff, and nice pool area. My room had a good view. They were helpful in all ways. Sea Point is not far from all the places I wanted to visit in Cape Town. A little hard to find at night with my Avis car GPS, but no real problem.
